Just a quick question, today there was quite a bit of snow, i cleaned off what was on the windows, and after driving off, up on the dash came the boot lid light, even though it was closed, and locked.

This has happened before, when the rear washer tube was off the rear wiper motor, so water was getting onto the swicth in the boot latch, but how did the snow get to this switch this time, is it possible that all the snow below the frount windscreen between the bulk head and the bonnet (the space where the wipers are) got through to something electrical in this section.

Did anyone get the same experiance today?

Also, never realised what ABS was until i experianced it today, very strange vibrations, is this normal?

i'd check your washer hose again, mine has split twice in a year.

yea abs feels horrible, i don't like it at all

thats why i love my 6n without abs.. stop it on a penny.. even in the wet (my driving instructor found this out.. well when he expected a skid..) and it responds pretty good i the snow (when the prat in the rover/bmw/mercedes BRAKES!!!!!) my 6n is actually better in the snow than the new focus and the bora (long story, sidewards down a hill..) i've found out now!..
